  1. Another actual review by Another+MacHack · · Score: 1 · on Myst III: Exile Review

    Andrew Plotkin has a much better (in terms of quality of the review itself) review of Myst 3.

    FYI,

    Here's a page about converting barcodes to ISBN's just in case you are interested. It also describes a complete barcode scanner to Palm Booklist :)

  3. Re:Barcode Scanner? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2 · on Linux Drivers For Free Barcode Scanner Cease-And-D...
    Well, here's what I did with my barcode scanner: scanned in my entire book collection, grabbed the catalog data from Amazon (etc), and turned it into a database. 1500 books in a weekend. If I had done that by hand, it would have taken weeks.

    Note that I didn't use a CueCat. This was several months ago, before the CueCat program started -- I just went out and bought a scanner. Nonetheless, you could do the same thing, and I've gotten email from people who plan to.

    Feel free to use my code. Python scripts, GPL, kind of ugly (and note that one needs correction since Amazon changed their page layout.)

    You can get a QD3D implementation of ElectroPaint at http://www.eblong.com/zarf/stonerview.ht ml.

    It wouldn't be terribly difficult to convert it to OpenGL for an xscreensaver module (it's a Mac app at the moment, but GPL).
